Scott Aitchison
Scott Aitchison MP (/ˈeɪtʃɪsən/ AY-chiss-ən, born January 14, 1973) is a Canadian politician who has served as a member of Parliament for Parry Sound—Muskoka since 2019. A member of the Conservative Party, he previously served as the Mayor of Huntsville from 2014 to 2019.
Aitchison unsuccessfully ran for party leadership and placed last in the 2022 election with one percentage point.
In his early years, Aitchison worked in sales with Coldwell Banker Thompson Real Estate, and Fowler Construction. He was also previously a consultant with Enterprise Canada Group from 1998-2004.[citation needed]
He was a co-chair of the organizing committee for the 2012 Ontario Para Winter Games in Huntsville.
Aitchison was first elected to the Huntsville Town Council in 1994 at the age of 21, where he served for three terms. At the time, he was the youngest individual ever elected to Huntsville Town Council and Muskoka District Council. He was elected again as a District and Town Councilor in 2010 and was Deputy Mayor for the next four years. He was elected mayor in 2014 and re-elected in 2018. He served the office until October 28, 2019.
Aitchison won the Conservative nomination in 2019, defeating three other candidates, and subsequently won the general election in October of the same year. After winning re-election in 2021, Aitchison was appointed to the Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet as the Shadow Minister for Labour.
In December 2021, Aitchison worked directly with Liberal Minister Seamus O'Regan to include in Government Bill C-3 an extension of bereavement leave for grieving parents who work in federally regulated industries. This change thereby incorporated a previously tabled private member’s bill from Conservative MP Tom Kmiec into the government’s legislation. O'Regan said that the display of cross-party support was a rarity.
On March 3, 2022, it was reported that Aitchison was preparing a bid for leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada with a campaign focused around character and tone. Aitchison officially launched his campaign on March 20 at a rally in Huntsville. On September 10, it was announced that Pierre Poilievre won the leadership on the first ballot.
